      I'm using MongoDB 3.0.6 with WiredTiger. I tried to update the mongodb-org-server package in Ubuntu 14.04 to version 3.0.7. Installation completes but after adding engine: wiredShark to the config file, the server won't start as a daemon. It complains:

      Starting MongoDB in terminal with command "sudo mongod --config /etc/mongod.conf" everything works.

      All file permissions should be OK, files and directories belong to mongodb:mongodb.

      As I wasn't able to run MongoDB as a daemon anymore, I had to rollback to 3.0.6 and now everything works again. What might be the problem here?
